WordPress Basics

Just minutes before one of our training courses started

Our classroom courses are either run by us when there’s enough interest (we need a minimum of two attendees), or we visit your client site and train your employees without them having to travel. We’ve trained a wide variety of WordPress users, from bloggers just starting out through to journalists working in media groups.

This is a one day course to teach users the principles of blogging, promotion and general use of the WordPress system for content production. It does not cover WordPress administration to any depth.

You will be taken from first principles through to blog promotion and given resources to show you where to go next.  These resources include how to find and select plugins and themes to extend your blog’s attractiveness and functionality.

Course Program:

Introduction

  • What WordPress can and can’t do
  • Acceptable content
  • Writing pages and posts
  • Inserting images
  • How to manage multimedia files
  • Making money from your WordPress site

Each attendee will be provided with a computer for the day on which they will have a local install of WordPress, meaning that they can learn their skills safely and well away from any public facing website. The course is task led and you will be closely supervised. Student co-operation is also encouraged with group activities.

All attendees of the course will receive printed materials for later reference, a resources disk or pen drive, refreshments, lunch and a subscription to our newsletter.

If you have any questions about our courses, please don’t hesitate to contact us using our form or by calling on 0151 331 5140 during office hours.

Custom Courses

We’re often asked if we can provide custom courses specifically tailored to the needs of certain organisations. This isn’t usually a problem but we will normally ask for a little more time in order to prepare.
